[CODE4LIB] QuickSearch now open source

[Kevin Beswick]

Hi,

Today, we’re (finally!) announcing the release of the NCSU Libraries'
QuickSearch ( http://search.lib.ncsu.edu/ ) codebase, which can be found
here:

https://github.com/NCSU-Libraries/quick_search

QuickSearch is the custom federated search application with bento-box style
results that was initially developed at NCSU Libraries in 2005. The version
that we are releasing today is based on a rewrite of the application in
Ruby on Rails, and was originally launched into production in May 2014.

The aim of the open source release is to provide a toolkit for easily
creating custom bento-box search applications. QuickSearch provides core
functionality for handling searching multiple sources. It makes it easy to
write new searcher modules that interface with your existing library
services. We’ve included a Vagrantfile and Ansible playbooks so that you
can easily get a working copy of QuickSearch up and running in a virtual
environment with only a couple steps, regardless of whether you’re running
Windows, Mac, or Linux.

This should be considered an early release, and is extracted from the code
that we run in production. That being said, we still have some TODO items
related to porting some of the functionality over, and improving the
documentation.

QuickSearch provides a modular environment to create or customize searcher
modules and themes, which are published and released as separate gems.
We’ve released a few modules that are usable out of the box (don’t require
API keys, etc) as examples. We’re looking to maintain a collection of
reusable modules to avoid duplication of effort and make it easier to get
bento-box search up and running using the services that your library
subscribes to. QuickSearch provides search analytics functionality that
will collect statistics for each included module automatically, and
provides a tabular view of those statistics to aid in assessment.

For more information about NCSU Libraries' implementation of QuickSearch
and the history of the project, see:
http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/reports/quicksearch

If you have any issues or questions, please contact us. You can send me an
email at kdbes...@ncsu.edu , or if you have a specific issue with the
software, feel free to open an issue on GitHub:
https://github.com/NCSU-Libraries/quick_search/issues

Thanks,

Kevin Beswick

The NCSU Libraries is seeking applications for the position of Information
Technology Initiatives Librarian.

  
The Information Technology Department includes 22 staff across four units:
Technology Services; Enterprise Operations; Academic Technology; and Discovery
Systems and Applications. The department is critical to the Libraries' success
in charting a new path for research libraries, with an emphasis on developing
and supporting information and academic technology solutions for the
Libraries. Department staff guide the design and architecture of library
applications and infrastructure, provide leadership in coordinating and
defining technology requirements for library‐wide projects and initiatives,
and ensure effective, sustainable operation of information systems and
infrastructure. The department has played a leading role in the creation of
high-tech learning spaces, delivery of rich media, and development of the
James B. Hunt Jr. Library as a research platform.

  
The Information Technology Initiatives Librarian is a new position that will
lead cross-functional teams to facilitate project management, planning, and
assessment for a broad range of library technology
initiatives. This position works with staff across the
libraries to define project scope and coordinate effort among team members.
The IT Initiatives Librarian communicates effectively with staff at various
levels of the organization on project status, and serves as a resource to
support and promote effective project management tools and techniques within
the department.

  
The Libraries offers a highly competitive salary in recognition of applicable
education and experience for this position. Librarians have non-tenure track

Hi,

The Code4Lib Conference is a great opportunity for professional
networking. Maybe you're looking to make the move to a new position or
want to figure out what skills you need to develop next to prepare you
for your next job. Maybe you're looking to fill a position and are
interested in talking to other folks who are hiring for similar roles.
With the conference growing it is not always easy to find the people
who you might want to talk to about jobs.

http://jobs.code4lib.org is a great resource, but it won't tell you
who to look for at the conference. I'd like to see if we can help with
bridging the gap between the jobs listed there and the folks who will
actually be at the conference.

I've created an open Google Doc where I have listed a few of our open
positions at NCSU Libraries and linked to contact information and
photos of the folks in the department who you can talk to about them.

I hope you will join me in adding other jobs along with the contact
information for people who will be at the conference.
